Start here, and take the Trolley!
May 2022
Great place to start your visit to Fort Scott! Maps, brochures, helpful people. This is also the starting point for Dolly The Trolley, a 1 hour trolley tour of Fort Scott which is very informative about many different aspects of Fort Scott history.
Visitor's center is free. Trolley has a small charge.

Very helpful in planning our day in Fort Scott. If we hadn’t stopped here, we’d have missed so much (and it was nice and cool on a hot summer day!). Thank you!

We took the trolley tour and enjoyed seeing the old houses and learning the history of Fort Scott. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the town and it's history.

Loved the Trolley Tour
Aug 2018 • Family
They have a very nice visitor center that we enjoyed while waiting for the trolley. After a fun morning at the Farmers Market we decided to finish the morning off with the Trolley Tour. The Driver was very good describing the local sites. He was extremely knowledgeable and could answer questions.
It was definitely worth doing.

Anything you need to know about Fort Scott and Bourbon County, and free cookies!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff with plenty of local information for out-of-towners, but also for locals who want to keep up with local events and activities. Convenient location to downtown Fort Scott and Fort Scott National Historic Site.

Welcome to Fort Scott
Mar 2016 • Friends
Stop here before touring Fort Scott, they have free cookies, coffee plus restrooms. You can find out where you want to go within the city and they give you a map of all the attractions. For a smaller city, they have plenty to see and do. The staff here is welcoming and very friendly.
